I agree. Instead of MySpace trying to strangle others from making money off of them, they should go into win-win partnerships.

In the meantime, we’ve created a model so that our widgets are not blatantly commercial, meaning no advertisements and no “buy” buttons. But the truth is, we ARE commercial, and while we aren’t dependent on MySpace, they certainly house the largest number of our potential users.

It would serve us and MySpace both if they would promote our widget and get a cut of the earnings for doing so, instead of being resentful and making snarky comments about how other companies couldn’t exist without them.
